Sydney,
Historically, there are numerous examples that deny you the authority to make the claim you are making about bathtub chemists re: religion. Sikhism, as just one small example. Simply put, what you call a "blasphemous, dangerous bathtub experiment" is someone else's next major religion.
And, spiritually, the question I have to ask is: why do you assume you have the authority to tell God how he must speak to people, or any authority at all to tell anyone else how God chooses to speak to them (which is more or less the same thing)?
I believe the above sheds light on some pretty fundamental problems with the basic idea about traditional views and practices and new views and practices you have put forth. How do you believe your claim holds up in light them, if at all?
